Shadow of the Ancients Leak

A NeoGAF poster uncovered a cached version of an old Precursor Games web page that seems to have a pitch for a crowdfunded game called Shadow of the Ancients. [2]

The Shadow of the Ancients leak claims the game would have been episodic and include the "Sanity Effects" notable in GameCube's Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. [3]

The proposed game is slated for the PC and Wii U in 2014. A description of the game is also listed:

In Shadow of the Ancients, we follow the investigations of Detective Paul Becker, who is called to one of the bloodiest massacres in Louisiana state history. Only two survivors remain from a brutal conflict between two rival cults at the abandoned Pleasant View Sanitarium: one a suave, clean-cut business man – and the other a hardened, rogue-like biker.

Both men have seemingly lost all memory of who they are – and yet they are compelled to kill each other. As Becker begins his interrogations of the suspects, their combined recollections create the world of Shadow of the Ancients.

You play Paul Becker, a Louisiana police detective. You also play Clara Rusznyák, a handmaiden to the noblewoman, Erzébet Bathory.[4]
